This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, James Burnette who was born in Maryland on January 14, 1976 and passed away on June 18, 2008 at the age of 32. We will remember him forever.
I wanted to honor my brother's life and let those that didn't know him have the opportunity to get to know one of the most beautiful people God brought into my life.

My brother, Jeff, was thirty-two, the father of five beautiful children-James Jr., Hunter, Zackary, Jasmine, and Dillon. Jeff was the youngest of three children to our mother. Jeff suffered from Bipolar with Mania for most of his life and God had mercy and took him home. Although he is gone, he will be with us always and is missed more than he could have ever imagined.

BLUE AGAINST BLUE / Shirley (Aunt)
A heavenly blue butterfly flies high in the sky higher and higher until the sunlight touches the blue on its wings and it seems to disappear.
We think it’s gone because the blue of the butterfly is the exact same blue of the sky.
We think it’s gone because our eyes are too weak to see-- and it is difficult to believe what we cannot see.
But the blue butterfly is not gone.
It is still flying higher and higher nearer the sun blue against blue now and forever.
In loving memory of my nephew Jeff almost three years after receiving the call that forever changed our family. 09/22/11


"A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam. And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world. But then it flies on again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we feel so lucky to have seen it." ~Author Unknown
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. ~Richard Bach

"Grief is like snakeskin, it sheds slowly over time, but it will always be there; you will never forget it."~Tyler Minnick
Thank you Claudia, Mom to Rocky Lindley for such a beautiful graphic in honor of Jeff's third Angelversary.
"I'm gonna miss that smile, I'm gonna miss you my friend, even though it hurts the way it ended up, I'd do it all again, so play it sweet in Heaven 'cause that's right where you wanna be; I'm not cryin' 'cause I feel so sorry for you, I'm cryin' for me."
~Toby Keith

This was written in memory of our grandfather, James McAlister. I thought it was so beautiful and so meaningful to all who are grieving the loss of a loved one-especially when it is so unexpected.
Don't think of him as gone away--
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets---
the Earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting,
from the sorrows and the tears,
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know, today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost--
and he was loved so much.
